MANILA, Philippines – Filipino-American Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson provided fans at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte a treat during the Hornets’ latest win on Tuesday, December 29.
The second-year player threw down a hammer dunk while posterizing Hornets forward Marvin Williams a little over midway through the third period.

While one of their own was a victim of Clarkson’s jam, Charlotte still came away on top with a 108-98 win as Kemba Walker torched Los Angeles for 38 points.
Clarkson, who last year practiced with the Philippine national basketball team and committed to the program through 2024, had 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists but shot only 2-of-14 from the floor.
The true highlight of the game, however, took place before tip-off when Hornets principal owner Michael Jordan, considered the greatest to ever play in the NBA, paid tribute to the retiring Kobe Bryant with a video message. – Rappler.com
